I heard from frankie there's trouble at his place
On highway 95 the police they gave me chase
I was with his sister i hadn't seen a thing
They had an apb just to bring me in

* oh, i had jenny by my side
Oh, she never told me that she'd lied

** if that's the way (that) our love goes
I'll take my chances with you i know
And we'll go the way the wild wind blows

I wasn't gonna stop they'd have to catch me first
And as i ran the red i heard the gunfire burst
Across three counties chasin' me for days
But judge i didn't know that she was under age

* repeat

[instrumental]

Well the judge he was generous and gave me a rest
Of eighteen months in the county's best
And i got a visit from jenny yesterday
By the time i'm out everything will be ok

* repeat
** repeat

She gave me one look
You could see it in her eyes
And we'll go the way the wild wind blows

*** and while i'm away dream of dreams
That what we had no one had seen
Because we go the way the wild wind blows

*** repeat and fade
